The Truro Bearcats have announced the acquisition and signing of 2005 born forward, Samuel Vachon for this upcoming season.

HIs MHL rights along with a 2026 6th round pick were acquired from Yarmouth in exchange for prospects Will Shearer and Tucker Makinen as well as a 2026 2nd round pick and Future Considerations.

Vachon, 20, joins the Bearcats after spending parts of the past 4 seasons in the QMJHL, totalling nearly 150 games with stints in Drummondville, Chicoutimi and most recently Victoriaville.

Prior to his time in the Q, Samuel made his mark in U18 where over 2 seasons with the College Notre-Dame Albatros, he put up 28 goals and 44 assists for 72 points over 70 games.

Samuel’s experience will be big for a Bearcat forward core that is already returning a number of key players from last seasons run to the division final.

You can catch Vachon and the rest of the Bearcats at training camp in Truro starting August 25th.

Welcome Samuel and family to the organization!
